Worried about listening to Coldplay's new single, Violet Hill, at work? Have no fear, for here it is in text form:

0:00 - 0:41 Here is some pleasant ambience noise which will take the running time over the crucial three minute mark.0:42 - 0:46 Chris Martin's vocals have got "slapback" reverb on them, just like the Beatles used to use. 0:46 - 0:50 He sounds more like Liam Gallagher on All Around The World, though.0:50 - 0:52 "There was snow," exclaims Chris. "White snow" What other type is there, you buffoon?1:00 - 1:05 This bass line is actually very funky1:18 - 1:23 THE CHORUS "If you love it, won't you let me know?" That's all you're getting, by the way. One solitary line.1:46 - 1:48 The word bible is rhymed with rifle. Controversial!2:14 - 2:16 Is the record stuck?2:17 - 2:48 No, it is not. And here is a guitar "solo" (the same riff repeated over and over again for 30 seconds)3:09-3:49 Piano coda. Chris does his trademark singing-like-a-wounded-animal "schtick". Then it stops.
